GMMG or Magnaflow Did a search and it sounds like the Magnaflow is a great system. And I've never heard a bad thing about GMMG. But 350 for the magnaflow system is a great price. Is there really any reason to spend twice that on GMMG, i.e. power, sound, quality of product. I was very happy with the quality of magnaflow on my Mustang. I've probably already answered my questions, huh.

the quality of both are great. i dont think you can go wrong either way. i love the sound of the GMMG tho. but it depends on if you wanna fork out the extra cash for it or not. im not too sure what the power gains are out of them, but its probably not too much difference.

Here's my thoughts, if they matter to ya.
I have a dual/dual with a Magnaglow muffler. I'm betting that it is not all that different sounding than a full Magnaflow cat back. As for performance I felt absolutly no difference from the dual/dual. I did not dyno, so it's just sotp, and I didn't feel any change. As far as the sound, I think it is great. Very deep and low grumble. The sound is just right when I'm just cruising around, and cabin noise is not too loud. WOT is nice and loud, but not overboard. It also keeps a deep tone through the rpm range. If you want a great sounding medium volume, get the Magnaflow.
Now, as far as the GMMG goes, I have NO personal experience with it. However, as soon as I save enough cash, I'm going with LT headers, catted Y and the GMMG!
I just hope I have the cash this next paycheck.

As for the sound, LS1Sounds.com. Go there and listen. As for the quality, both are very good. The GMMG is BANK. Magnaflow is much less expensive. Get what fits into your budget if your taste can't make the decision alone.

One thing to consider, Magnaflow tips you either love 'em or hate 'em. I have some friends who would not hesitate to tell me my car "looks like ****", and they like the tips. Personal preference.
As I'm typing this I did not notice if you have a Camaro or T/A. It looks different on each. T/A's have the cutouts in the bumper. I have pics of mine from the back if you're curious of what it looks like from the back on a Camaro. Just my .02Definately visit LS1sounds.com

I've got the magnaflow and I love it. It sounds mean as hell when you get on it.
I personally will never spend more than what I paid for the Magnaflow for a cat-back. For the price of the GGMG system, I could get a magnaflow muffler, Pacesetter headers, and have some money left over that will work towards my ORYP.
IMO, the magnaflow has the quality of build as all of the expensive ones, and sounds just as good. GMMG sounds better IMO, but it will never be worth the extra money.

If you have the money you will never regret getting GMMG. It is just a deep, ballsy sound all the way to the red-line. Magnaflow sounds/flows great, but GMMG takes it, IMO. You really cant go wrong with either, but GMMG is the way to go, if you can.
